To Saudis, "No
thanks" for a race-horse as penance for funding a hate-war..
That Saudis have offered a race-horse
to 9-One-One victims of hate-war
adds insult not balm
to injuries spawned
by hate-corps the Saudis had paid-for.
..
Inspired by an August
30, 2002, Times On Line report that the Saudi royal family is contemplating donating
a "million dollar racehorse" named "War Emblem" to families
of 9-11 victims. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com..

Why
pardon-conditions by Bubba...
cannot be revealed by the Dubya..
Judicial Watch questions to Dubya
demand pardon-records of Bubba
but Dubya refused
to let 'em peruse
the records for pardons by Bubba.
When questioned, said Bush: "I rejected
demands for the pardon directives
'cause Bubba, you know,
departed, and so
no longer can proof be erected."
..
Inspired by an August
28, 2002, Washington Times report about the Bush Administration's
refusal to comply with demands by Judicial Watch for records pertaining to
Clinton's issuance of pardons in the waning days/hours of his administration.
For excellent historical hysterical insight into the
Presidential Pardons aspect of the Clinton Era Error, buy
my book, the Clinton
Liebrary
Book 2001 Edition,
which features a chapter titled "Pardon
My Funding with Funding for Pardons." containing satirical
limericks such
as Clinton's
explanation of why he pardoned Susan McDougal but not Webster Hubbell.

The village of
Hershey needs knights to bring mercy.
The world-famous village of Hershey
appears to be held at the mercy
of Switzerland's Nestlι,
but white-knight investing
should ride to the rescue of Hershey.
For Nestlι to win would be horrid,
but putting their offer in storage
requires a white-knight
with strength for the fight--
The hoofs that I hear? Philip Morris !
..
Inspired by an August
25, 2002, USA Today report about the possibility of Hershey being acquired
by Nestlι unless an American company were to rescue the Town of Hershey from
the ignominy of being at the mercy of the Swiss chocolate company. I'd bet
on Philip Morris since, as a smoker (but not a tobacco-stock owner), I know
chocolate goes great with nicotine. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com..

Daily Update #20020824-01.©.2002.
The Bush-Putin Era
for War Against Terror.
The capture of high-grade uranium
at risk in the Yugoslav nation
reveals a new era
when war against terror
for Russia and us is a joint operation.
..
Inspired by an August
24, 2002, report in The Times of London about a joint operation by US and
Russian special forces to seize, remove and safeguard a large quantity of
poorly-guarded highly enriched uranium in Yugoslavia.
This extraordinary cooperation
between the US and Russia makes me recall the times in the Reagan Era when all
of Europe's leaders (except Margaret Thatcher) and "intellectuals" and
Reagan's domestic critics mocked him as an unsophisticated, unintelligent
"cowboy":
(a) for insisting on deploying
short-range nuclear missiles in Europe and developing SDI to
induce
the Soviets to the bargaining table to "reduce" rather than merely
"limit" nuclear arms,
(b) for calling the Soviet Union an
"evil empire" destined for the "dustbin of history,"
and
(c) for saying (in Berlin) "Mr.
Gorbechev, tear down this wall."
It's a shame he isn't healthy enough today to read this report (about the
US/Russian collaboration to safeguard enriched uranium) to those critics and say
"Nyyyaaaa Nya-Nya Nyyyaaaa Nya !"
It also reminds me that only recently
that same group of critics smugly predicted that abrogation of the ABM Treaty by
Bush would discourage Russia from collaborating with the US on matters involving
nuclear weapons, nuclear proliferation, etc. Given the recent and Reagan-Era
track-records of European leaders and "intellectuals" and of American
critics of Human-Rights Imperialism, Dubya should take solace in their nearly
unanimous opposition to his assertion that replacement of Saddam Hussein is
vital to the security of the US, Europe, the Middle-East and human-rights
generally. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com..

M-S-N-B-C
should let Phil go... to co-host a "Bubba & Phil
Show."
C-B-S has received a proposal from Bill:
A show like the talk-show invented by Phil,
but ratings for Phil
raise doubts that it will
draw viewers like years-ago ratings for Phil.
M-S-N-B-C would be glad to send Phil
to help C-B-S with a program for Bill
to alternate posts
as viewer and host
on odd/even days between Bubba and Phil.
..
Inspired by an August 21, 2002, New York Times article about discussions
between Bill Clinton and CBS for Clinton to host a daily afternoon television
talk-show despite the spectacularly dismal ratings currently being experienced
by another host (Phil Donahue on MSNBC) whose initial successes years ago were
founded on his initial appeal to women.

Daily Update #20020822-01.©.2002.
A negligent mother
or meddling Big Brother?
Of course we oppose child endangerment
but also Big-Brother Lone-Rangering
for kids at the fair
when sunburn's declared
to constitute crim'nal endangerment.
Who's next on the list of Big Brother?
Nutrition-malpracticing mothers
who dare to provide
some burgers and fries
and milk not from soy but from udders !
..
See an Aug.
20, 2002, Yahoo/AP report on the arrest of a mother on child-endangerment
charges for letting her small children get severe sunburn during a day at the
county fair in Jefferson County, Ohio. Unless this arrest were to have been a
mere pretext to save children from a mother known by the deputy to have
previously exposed her children to danger in a criminally negligent manner, it
seems to me to have been an instance of Big Brother meddling.
What's next? Arresting moms feeding their kids burgers,
fries and sodas at McDonalds? In the wake of the fanatics' victories in The
War Against Tobacco, the current expansion of their fanatically religious
crusade to include Big Junk Food, Big Mayonnaise, Big Beef, Big Butter, Big
Eggs, Big Fat, etc., should make us all wonder who knows who's next on their
list.
What do I think about sunburn? As I hurtle into
geezerhood, I remember often receiving "second degree sunburn" (i.e.,
the kind causing peeling) during my childhood as a result of playing outside
without a shirt on hot, sunny days, after which my skin got darker and protected
me from sunburn for the rest of the summer. So-what if some
statistician claims it doubled or even tripled an extremely small risk of skin
cancer as I hurtle into geezerhood?
Becoming slaves to risk-assessment management of our lives by
statisticians is the antithesis of freedom. To paraphrase Patrick Henry,
I'd rather die young from the consequences of exercising my freedom than to
survive into slobbering senility (though some say I'm already there) by being
forced to slavishly follow the lifestyles urged upon us by the Healthiopians. --Jim

passage of Asteroid 2002 NY40 (nearly a half-mile wide) as it missed Earth by a
mere 326,000 miles on August 17/18, 2002. It's nearly half-mile wide size
(0.43 miles) made it observable with binoculars. See also PoliSat.Com's

The words of
Sarandon were clearly bizarre...
... in telling the British how "lucky" they are.
The words of Sarandon were clearly bizarre
in telling the British how "lucky" they are
to "already know"
what Nine-One-One showed:
How terrible "terrorist" incidents are.
By calling such acts "inexplicable"
she makes her own views "inexplicable,"
since terrorists state
their reasons for hate,
it's clear the right word's "indefensible."
Her calling such acts "inexplicable"
implies fighting back ain't applicable,
to make it seem chic
when activists bleat
that plans to fight back are despicable.
..
Inspired by an August
17, 2002, report quoting Susan Sarandon as having said to the British Media:
"[O]ne of the positive results of the September 11 attacks was that it gave America something in common with other countries who have fallen prey to terrorism.
'Afterwards, I said to my kids: "We've joined the rest of the world
now",' she said. 'You're so lucky in Ireland, England and Spain. Everyone there already knows what it's like to have inexplicable terrorist
violence.' " (Emphasis added.) Does she not remember our embassies having
been bombed in Africa? Does she not remember the first WTC bombing?
Does she not recall Hussein's attempt to assassinate Bush? It's easy to
understand how people who abhor the 9-11 attacks could value the positive
effects of the heroism exhibited by Americans in response to it, but how could
an ostensibly intelligent person view "our fall[ing] prey to
terrorism" having the "positive" effect of giving us
"something in common with other countries" but yet also oppose our
efforts to counter-attack against such terrorist networks and their
supporters? Doesn't characterization of terrorism as
"inexplicable" serve to imply it's insoluble to avoid feeling
responsibility to support remedial actions? --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

Incentive to wear

defiant and slick
with nothing to cover his head:
The last thing that Traficant
said?
'Twas "Beam me up, Scotty,"
he pled--
Said Scotty, "Can-do,"

Connecting the dots
on dirty-bomb plots.
Were not those complaining Padilla has not
been charged with a dirty-bomb criminal plot
the same ones who whined:
"We didn't take time
before Nine-Eleven 'connecting the dots' "?
..
Inspired by the Aug.
12 Newsweek article for its Aug. 19 cover-date issue reporting claims that
the government does not have a viable dirty-bomb-plot case against Jose Padilla
and raising constitutional questions about his being detained incommunicado
without being charged on the basis of Bush having designated him an "enemy
combatant."
Civil libertarians rightly raise legitimate questions about
the enormous potential for abuse of such Presidential powers, but how else
can investigators "connect the dots" in light of what we know
post-9-11 about people found to have associations with Al Qaeda?
Should we provide counsel to such detainees and rely solely
upon their lawyers' ethical duties to advise them to reveal rather than conceal
knowledge about, or plans to aid, or engage in, prospective*
criminal conduct that could pose a serious threat to human life? Could
such lawyer be in a position to competently evaluate such matter without access
to classified information?
Shouldn't the government refuse to furnish such information
to any lawyer lacking clearance to receive it? Could we reasonably expect
the government to provide a lawyer not shown to be trustworthy with respect to
classified information? Would the detained person trust such a
lawyer?
If we're compelled to rely upon government lawyers to act ethically
in approving such lawyer, why could we not rely those same government lawyers to
ethically order release of a detainee when further inquiry fails to justified
continued detention? In either circumstance, we must at some point take a
leap of faith in the good faith of government lawyers.
Does taking such leap of faith cause an uneasy feeling that
doing so may be the start of a slide down the slippery slope to
totalitarianism? Of course it does. Do we have a better choice at
the present? Our criminal-justice system prefers to let guilty people go
free to preserve procedures designed to minimize the risk of imprisoning the
innocent, but does that same calculus rationally apply to those reasonably
believed to be functioning as, or collaborating with, enemy combatants in
warfare by terror likely to employ tactics on the scale of 9-11 or larger?
The Newsweek article also questions Ashcroft's motives
in calling a press-conference while in Moscow to announce Padilla's apprehension
as a suspected dirty-bomb plotter. Could Aschroft's motives have merely
been self-serving or an overreaction? Of course. Could Ashcroft's
motives instead have been to draw worldwide attention to the detention of Padilla
as a means of prompting communications and/or behavior by unknown associates
that might reveal their identity and/or additional information about a
dirty-bomb plot? Of course. I resolve doubts in favor of the latter
rather than the former.
*The
attorney-client privilege not bar an attorney from revealing a client's
prospective intent to aid, or engage in, criminal conduct; instead, a lawyer's
ethical (and moral) duties require the lawyer to disclose such intent regarding
criminal acts that could, or would, pose serious threats to human safety.
Proof that a lawyer advised a client to remain silent rather than furnishing
information needed to prevent such criminal acts could serve as a basis for
revocation of the lawyer's license to practice. The right to counsel does not
include a right to criminal assistance.

gals against paleos.
Since submarine service began,
we've deemed it a job for a man,
but lately say some:
"One needn't be hung,
to serve as a submarine hand."
For DACOWITS* some impresarios
[*Defense Advisory Committee On Women In The
Service]
said men-only rules are so "paleo,"
and strongly implored
Defense to restore
that old "Operation" called "Petticoat."**
[**The classic Cary Grant movie
"Operation Petticoat" in
1959]
In claiming it's just a canard
that gals on a sub should be barred,
they're missing the rub
that gals on a sub
make service on submarines hard.
The problems in submarine space
arise between denim and lace
when corridors tight
force guys with delight
to squeeze-past the gals face-to-face.
For subs to comport with P-C
they'd neutralize standing relief,
but changes installed
would surely be called
Relief Operation P-Seat.
More potties for feminine parity
would remedy standing disparities,
but two other features
of feminine creatures
can stimulate signs of polarity.
Since polarization conditions
could hamper fulfillment of missions,
they'd have-to devise
for masculine eyes
some blinders to limit their vision.
They'd need special couns'ling, of course,
on board the new submarine force.
To settle disputes,
they'd have-to recruit
some lawyers who handle divorce.
And guys who remain unconvinced
that gals on a sub is good sense
would have-to take classes
on working with lasses
to learn how a gal takes offense.
New language they'd have-to devise
for orders to not go awry
and lead to confusion
and awkward contusions
when sailors hear orders to dive.
They'll need to instill a new credo
revamping traditional lingo,
so women won't fake
the claim, "My head aches,"
when needed to handle torpedoes.
Recruiters would have to promote
campaigns to make gals think it haute
to break the taboos
by joining the crews
who serve in the submarine boats.
With P-C desires to be hip
recruiters proposed a new script:
"In breaking taboos,
the Navy needs you
to serve going down on a ship."
Anonymous-source expositions
declared such proposal a symptom
of hold-over views
for breaking taboos
for service by gals under Clinton.
So Rumsfeld decreed the
rescission
of women on submarine missions
on fully detecting
the plans for erecting
the DACOWITS Doctrine of Clinton..
..
Inspired by the "Who Needs Satire" segment of McCaslin's
8/12/02 Inside the Beltway column in the Washington Times
featuring satirical observations by Ann Sheridan about politically-correct
fallout from the DACOWITS Doctrine of the Clinton
Era Error..

The sycophant-flacker
for Bubba confuses the Dubya with Bubba.
McAuliffe, the sycophant-flacker for Bubba
alleged that "our trust" has been
"squandered" by Dubya,
but even his brain
could not be that lame--
he must've been thinking of Bubba not Dubya.
..
Inspired by reports that in a Aug.
10, 2002, speech to the DNC, Terry McAuliffe said: "George Bush
squandered our trust." What a bizarre accusation from a flacker for
Bubba. To paraphrase Dion's famous hit in the '60's, Clinton was not only
the " Wanderer" but also the
"Squanderer" if one were to focus on who, as President,
"squandered our trust." --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

Now Harrelson spews
the chimera that "warfare on terror is terror."
When actors like Harrelson spew the chimera*
"[America's] war against terror is terror,"**
it show's when they're hired
that brains weren't required
but also makes clear to support 'em is error.
..
Inspired by the latest instance of moral obtuseness and obsequious groveling to
the anti-American segment of the British media by celebrities owing their
success to the freedoms guaranteed by the country they revile as a way to
ingratiate themselves to the fashionably-anti-American foreign
media. *This
paraphrases Woody Harrelson's statement to the London Mirror on August 9, 2002,
that "[America's] war against terrorism is terrorism. The whole thing
is just bullsh_t." I long ago ceased patronizing any of
his "work" after realizing he's a morally blind idiot suffering the
delusion that his financial success reflects public admiration for what passes
for a thought-process in his cranial cavity. **
The third-usage meaning of "chimera" is a "mental
illusion or fabrication." --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

From Hill'ry an
offer to Dubya in Crawford.
'T'was yesterday Hill'ry at Bush started yelpin'
that she'd come to Crawford and there she would tell
him
that if he would heed
her new-spending pleas
she'd "put-on a pair of [those] work-gloves and help
him."
"No thanks, " replied Bush, "I politely
must snub-ya."
"Just what do you mean?" replied Hill'ry to Dubya.
Said Bush, "I assume
your brain's out of tune--
You've clearly confused me with ex-POTUS Bubba."
..
Inspired by an Aug.
9, 2002, NY Post report that Hillary professed an ability to work in
"oppressive heat" and a willingness to "burn down trees, cut
brush or remove stumps" to persuade Bush to invite her to his ranch in
Crawford, Texas to afford her an opportunity to persuade him to support her proposals for more
spending "to monitor the health of Ground Zero workers." She
said, "I'll put on a pair of work gloves and help him." She also
said she would "bring ... construction workers and firefighters and
emergency responders," whom I presume she'd select from among the few who
didn't boo her in New York at the event in which she tried to glom onto them for
transparently self-serving political purposes. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

DeeCee's not
desirous to stop the right virus.
The folks in DeeCee are desirous
to learn how to stop West-Nile Virus.
We know eating crow's
the wrong way to go,
so how should they battle this Virus?
The main cause the experts have stressed?
Mosquitoes on blood-sucking quests--
ignoring the leader:
Potomac-Like Fever
transmitted by humanoid blood-sucking pests.

Inspired by recognition that in preparing to battle the West Nile Virus, DeeCee
may be distracted from waging war against a more virulent danger to the public's
well being-- i.e., politicians infected with the thus-far incurable Potomac
Fever.

Demanding the
"perp-walk" for fraudulent word-talk.
Since "perp-walks" are right for the hot-shots
whose fraudulent claims made the stocks drop,
demand such condition
for each politician
who claimed S-S-I
was a "trust
fund" or "lockbox."
..
Like most people, I derive satisfaction in seeing private-sector criminals do
the "perp walk" (i.e., been shown in the news as while being arrested
and carried away in handcuffs), but I would derive even more satisfaction from
seeing the same treatment for each politician who has fraudulently claimed that
Social Security is a "trust fund" or "lockbox" rather than a
pay-as-we-go system based on pyramid-scheme principles. For a more
detailed explanation of what I mean, click the following link to my Update on
the subject on March 27, 2001: http://polisat.com/du2001/du010331.htm#20010327-01. --Jim

Were Bill's plans
in error for blotting-out terror?.
Though Bubba claims plans that he left
for blotting-out terror were deft,
when opened and read
they're tactics instead
for blotting-out error-word "F".
..
Inspired by an Aug.
4, 2002 news report about the Bush administration disputing Clinton's claims
that he had left them a ready-to-implement plan to blot-out terror. *The phonic similarity and substantive disparity between the phrase "for blotting-out
terror were deft" and "for blotting-out error-word 'F' " illustrate the linguistic skill known as
Clinphonics explained in great detail in the Hookered on Clinphonics chapter of the

An Indian expert
presumes our bombing prevented monsoons..
"Afghanistan bombing," an "expert"
presumes,
"changed India's weather by stopping
monsoons,"
like those who presumed
the massive, dark plumes
from wells in Kuwait would stop more than monsoons.
Remember, the world didn't suffer the grief
predicted by Priests of the Greenhouse Beliefs
when hundreds of wells
kept burning like Hell
'til long past the time when Saddam met defeat.
..
Inspired by an August
2, 2002, news report that a "scientist" for the Indian government
claims American bombs in Afghanistan released "large volumes of greenhouse
gases" and thereby prevented the "monsoon" season in "parts
of India." This reminds me of the dire predictions of world-wide
weather and farming catastrophes predicted by the Priests of the Greenhouse
Beliefs while the burning inferno of hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells were belching
almost incalculable amounts of "greenhouse" gases and carbon
particulates into the atmosphere-- and, as we all now know, such dire
predictions did not come true. Could it be that the Indian scientist is
trying to lay a foundation for India to seek "compensation" from
America for alleged damage to its "monsoon" season?

't'was thought Bubba said he'd "partake,

in saving Israelis,
but list'ners were hasty--
Instead what he said was he'd take-flight and
lie.

to offer free smokes
